Founded in 1979, Trickle Up’s work equips vulnerable populations, specifically refugees, women, and the indigenous, with economic empowerment skills that enable them to become decision-makers in their lives, households, and communities. We support the extreme-poor to graduate out of poverty to self-reliance (The Graduation Approach) by providing coaching and business skills that foster the creation of savings groups, access to credit, and the development and engagement in livelihood activities. Trickle Up partners with local agencies and community-based organizations, non-governmental organizations, global institutions, and governments, and relies on collecting and building evidence-based data that quantifies our outcomes and impact.
Since 2013, Trickle Up has partnered with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the UN agency with a global mandate to protect refugees. We advise UNHCR on how to reach the poorest and most vulnerable and integrate the Graduation Approach into their livelihoods programs in order to increase economic self-sufficiency and the resiliency of refugees over the long-term. In furtherance of this initiative, we are establishing an effective knowledge management system for tools, guidance, and approaches to address graduation in refugee contexts, a critical element to ensure learning and cross-fertilization within Trickle Up and with our partners and stakeholders.
